Lawrence G. Manco, MD Ultrasound and computerized tomography (CT) are now routinely utilized to diagnose, localize, and guide percutaneous drainage of intra-abdominal abscesses.lP5 Safe routes for diagnostic aspiration and subsequent catheter drainage are determined easily by these m0da1ities.l.~ Gerzof et al.âS2 have stressed the need for a safe percutaneous approach before attempting drainage. The ability to calculate a safe and effective approach has enhanced the success of percutaneous drainage procedures and decreased morbidity and mortality. 1-6 This report describes the successful percutaneous drainage of a left subphrenic abscess directly through a polycystic liver, To my knowledge, this has not been previously reported. Although contamination of sterile hepatic cysts traversed by the catheter was a prime concern, adequate drainage was accomplished without incident, and the patient remains well 8 months after percutaneous drainage therapy. quadrant suggestive of an inflammatory process [Fig. 2(A)]. A second sonogram 1 week after initial presentation again demonstrated an enlarged polycystic liver, in addition to a new cystic collection adjacent to the left hemidiaphragm [Fig. 2(B)]. The thickened, irregular walls of this collection clearly differentiated it from adjacent benign liver cysts. This appearance suggested a left subphrenic abscess or an infected liver cyst.
